Healing Through Understanding
Discover how our patients found healing by addressing the root causes of their health issues.
"I have been extremely pleased with my treatment under Dr. Birkmeier. My health has improved under her care, for which I am very grateful. I have recommended her to several people who I suspected might have Lyme disease, and one, my daughter-in-law, has been improving, for which we are also very grateful. The office crew has also been great and has been very helpful whenever I had questions. Thank you to everyone involved at the office. YOU ARE ALL GREAT!"

"Dr. Birkmeier’s knowledge and skill have been invaluable for our family. She has helped resolve various health issues, continues to research new ways to tackle ongoing issues, and has provided care we didn’t even know we needed. I’m so grateful that through her fresh and innovative approaches, my family can feel better and lead healthier lives. Dr. Birkmeier and her team are everything that good medical care should be."

I've been a patient at RMC for almost 2 years now. I had been to over 10 doctors who could not help me get better and heard about Dr. Birkmeier from my Lyme support group. When I first started as a patient here, I could barely get out of bed, and when I did, I walked slower than a turtle because of all of my pain. I had constant fevers, dizziness, nausea, confusion, loss of memory, and my hands were like claws because they were so inflamed. I felt like I had the flu 24/7. Dr. Birkmeier slowly helped me detox and began addressing all my infections. She was always monitoring my progress with bloodwork and monthly visits. She dug deep when symptoms didn’t improve and helped me discover I had mold in my house that was contributing to my illness. It has been a bumpy road with ups and downs, but with her patience and persistence, I am now living and enjoying my life again!

"I was prompted to come to RMC due to fatigue, muscle and joint pain, IBS, FODMAP, bloating, extreme cramping, Lyme disease, and CIRS. Dr. B diagnosed gut bacteria and treated with Rifampin. I was then able to tolerate eating many foods again with no bloating and pain. Prior to treatment, spices like garlic and onion that we use often in cooking created extreme amounts of hydrogen to build in the gut as well as certain foods. Truly, there were few safe foods that did not create pain or hives. She is continuing to treat Lyme and CIRS. We are so thankful for Dr. B and her peaceful staff and office. I have been treated by many doctors for my Lyme, and few have her compassion and patience."

I had been a patient at the Fibro Fatigue Center. I was lost when Dr. Moustafa died. A former patient highly recommended Dr. Birkmeier. I have learned so much about my health since coming to the RMC. I have become a fan of functional medicine and love Dr. Birkmeier’s approach of looking for the root cause. I have been searching for the reason why I haven’t improved over time. Dr. Birkmeier looks at symptoms and interactions rather than fixing a symptom. I also like how she involves me in treatment decisions. I really feel like this is a real partnership. I frequently refer others to the RMC. The staff here is fantastic. They are welcoming and friendly. I consider it a blessing to have found this practice.

"I have been a patient at RMC for 3-4 years. No one else could help me, and I thought I was dying. Dr. B has saved my life in so many ways. From discovering my thyroid meds were incorrect to so many other findings that give me hope. And I know that I am in excellent hands. She is a Godsend."
